·       Perform standard diagnostic checks using scan tools, service information, and shop equipment, as well as complex or intermittent concerns.
·       Perform wheel alignments for any and all types of cars.
·       Clearly document inspection results, work performed, and additional concerns for the service advisor.
·       Communicate repair progress and estimated completion times to the service advisor and lead technician.
·       Road-test vehicles when appropriate and permitted, following shop procedures.
·       Maintain personal and shared tools, equipment, and work areas in clean, safe condition.
·       Follow company policies, vehicle handling procedures, and applicable safety and environmental requirements.
·       Continue developing technical skills through training and feedback.
·       Assist newer or less experienced technicians with routine tasks when requested.

·       At least three years of automotive repair experience, or demonstrated ability to perform the responsibilities of a B-Level Technician.
·       Experience with tire service and common maintenance and repair work.
·       Experience with basic diagnostic tools, scan tools, repair information, and shop equipment.
·       Ability to complete assigned repairs accurately and recognize when a repair requires escalation.
·       Strong mechanical aptitude, attention to detail, reliability, and time-management skills.
·       Ability to work cooperatively with technicians and service advisors.
·       Ability to lift up to 75 pounds and work in a physically demanding shop environment.
·       Valid driver’s license and an acceptable driving record.


Preferred Certifications and Training
·       ASE certification in relevant areas, such as brakes, suspension and steering, or maintenance and light repair.
